Remote Sensing of Wildfire: Fuels, Fire and Recovery in a Changing World »
Dr Dar Roberts is a Professor in Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara where he has served since 1994. He is the UCSB Principal Investigator of the Southern California Wildfire Hazard Center and leads the group in developing wildfire fuels maps and mapping fuel moisture using remote sensing.
CANCELLED - E&E PhD Exit Seminar: The insight of Eucalyptus pauciflora (snow gum) genome »
In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data.
CANCELLED - Females; Form, Function and Fitness »
CANCELLED - How do we explain costly and ridiculous traits like bright colours, elaborate ornaments, exaggerated weapons and lethal aggression?
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Leek Orchids versus Extinction: understanding mycorrhizal fungi to save a genus of threatened orchids »
Australia is a global hotspot for orchid diversity, but also has one of the highest rates of orchid extinctions in the world.
The Wonderful World of Marsupial Chromosomics »
Australia is home to a diverse range of marsupials, which are a treasure trove of interesting biology. Marsupial genomes, which are packaged into beautiful, large chromosomes, provide a powerful resource for studying the mechanisms of genome evolution.
Characterising putative transporter proteins in apicomplexan parasites identifies one that is critical for Toxoplasma gondii invasion »
PhD exit seminar by Sanduni Hapuarachchi from the van Dooren Group at the Research School of Biology, whose work highlights the important roles transporters play in parasites and open avenues to further explore this important class of proteins.
Explaining imperfect mimicry - the case of ant mimics »
Batesian mimics are deliciously palatable species that gain protection from a predator by resembling a defended or unpalatable model. Theory predicts that mimics that closely resemble their model should have the greatest advantage, while inaccurate mimics should be recognised and attacked by predators.
Forward genetic screening identifies a link between Plasmodium falciparum fever response, artemisinin resistance and the algal origins of the...
The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum parasites that are resistant to front-line antimalarial artemisinin-combination therapies (ACT) threatens to erase the considerable gains against the disease of the last decade. We developed a new large-scale phenotypic screening pipeline and used it to carry out the fi
